Those of us in Florida who were paying attention knew Rubio was a stalking horse for universal amnesty long before he was elected to the US Senate.
Even now, with Rubio having shown all of his amnesty cards, Limbaugh’s lips are still glued to Rubio’s backside.
The really pathetic part is not that Rubio got away with it, but that his predecessor Mel Martinez used the SAME "I'm 100% against amnesty" talking point in 2004 and was likewise portrayed as the "true conservative" GOP primary candidate by numerous FL freepers, regardless of his previous record in office.
You think after the fallout in 2006, they would have wised up in 2010 and not fallen for it AGAIN. Nope. They STILL accepted whatever campaign promises their Senate candidates take at face value, and didn't bother to vet their Senate candidates six years later, either.
In 2010, though, the only opponents left running against Rubio turned out to be non-viable jokes ("Dr. Escoffery III", etc.) All the more reason it was important to vet this guy at the START of the campaign, BEFORE the tea party anointed him as the "True conservative" choice to take on Charlie Crist.
Shades of that idiot Mourdock falling for the same trick that destroyed Todd Akin, after the fallout had happened and he SHOULD have known better when the media asks GOP candidates about rape.
At this rate, Jeb Bush will find a third "true conservative" Cuban-American candidate who is "absolutely against amnesty" in 2016, and FL freepers will beating down the door to back the guy the moment he announces, swearing up and down that he is absolutely NOTHING like his predecessor.
